It's the most southerly rising it will do. It also won't rise very
high in the sky. Apart from that it's still a ******* full moon and I
hate it. Why can't it be full during cloudy weather?

There really is no pleasing some people. What on earth can you find wrong
with a full moon?

I'm an astronomer. Full moon means I can't view anything very dim (insert
obligatory neighbour joke here).

Viewing the full moon itself is also unsatisfying as there are no shadows
to give you perspective. Best you can observe are planets and the brighter
clusters. Oh, and some double/multiple stars.

Hates it, we do :-)
